Kaposvár

Kaposvár is a city with county rights in South Transdanubia, the seat of Somogy County and Kaposvár District, a university town and the seat of the Kaposvár Diocese. It is one of the most important economic, cultural, educational and sports centres in Transdanubia. It lies along the Kapos River, in the Somogyi Hills. With a population of about 60 000, it is the 15th most populous settlement in the country and the second most populous in South Transdanubia. Its castle and monastery date back to the Middle Ages, but due to the Turkish and Austrian invasions, not many buildings older than the 19th century have survived in the duchy.
